Cast your votes for up to four of these seven artists by Friday July 5. For clarifications, consult the Ladder of Art FAQ.
For the last several weeks we've developed a cluster of artists who seem to climbing the ladder in a group, with most new entrants falling off in their first or second week. Which, actually, is pretty much how this tournament format works. This week, bring on the 20th Century! In fact, two of our new guys are living, 21st Century people, just like you and I!

One of the easiest votes yet on the ladder. Not feeling the new entrants. I'll go with Froment, Daubigny, Chase, and Kalf.
Andre, Chase.
Andre, Daubigny, Chase, and Kalf.
I tried to vote but it looks like it didn't "take." I said Andre, Chase, and Froment.
Susan says "Chase, Kalf & Daubigny. I'm not feeling the new entrants either."
Arp, Chase, Kalf, Daubigny.
I'm going with Chase and Froment. I kind of like Deacon, but not enough to vote for him. And, sure, I like Daubigny and Kalf, but am ready for a little more turnover.
Rosemary and Elliott both vote for the same slate, which is Daubigny, Chase, Andre, Deacon.
